I guess even good directors have those times when the bills have to be paid. How else does one explain James Mangold turning to this trite if breezy piece of formula after such worthy entertainments as Walk The Line and 3:10 to Yuma?
maybe the talent arrayed in front of him was just irresistible: in addition to the top-liners, there's peter Saarsgard and Viola Davis But all that is wasted amid a wash of of high-decibel car chases and fight scenes which, while stylishly shot, are still tiresome.
Not even the Jamaica sequence (returning Cruise to the site of his hit "Cocktails") is allowed to shine without the intervention of rocket-firing war planes.
